The magic of Yuja Wang´s fingers

This is what one critic wrote after Ms. Wang´s recent recital in New York:
"An amazing phenomenon happened at the Massry Center Saturday evening. A charming little 24-year-old Chinese doll dressed in a tight, floor-length black gown tottered in stiletto heels to the Steinway piano. By the second phrase, she had transformed into one of the most powerful, masterful pianists ever to appear in the Capital Region, and had mesmerized the whole audience."

She is only 24, and already a big star in classical music. That kind of stardom, with all the publicity and public attention it usually brings, is often difficult to handle, particularly at a young age. But judging from what one has seen and heard about the Chinese pianist Yuja Wang, she seems to be able to handle her fame with the same amazing professionality she displays when making music. Ms.Wang also likes to appear in beautiful dresses - sometimes described as "tight and skimpy". However, it is easy to agree with the New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini, who commented: "she is a lovely young woman. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. What matters is that Ms. Wang has got it as a pianist."

The beautiful red dress Ms. Wang wore at the Verbiers festival in 2010 was rather classical

The magic of Yuja Wang´s fingers:
"Ms. Wang’s virtuosity is frankly unbelievable–mainly because she uses it as a tool, not for virtuosity in itself."

One only needs to listen to last encore of Yuja Wang´s recital in Verbier 2010 in order to understand the magic of her fingers:
